Under the FOI Act 2014, I am seeking the following: - a copy of the business case, cost benefit analysis, and any valuation reports associated with the decision by the council to purchase Lucan House and grounds from the Italian government. Release of these records can no longer be said to have any impact on the sales process, which is completed apart possibly from some minor procedural matters. Please ask the decision maker to familiarise themselves with the following decisions: Drogheda Purchase: https://oic.ie/en/ombudsman-decision/9b917-mr-ken-foxe-of-right-to-know-clg-and-ida-ireland/ Westmeath Purchase: https://oic.ie/ga/cinneadh-ombudsman/7bd56-mr-ken-foxe-right-to-know-clg-and-ida-ireland/ I would prefer to receive this information electronically, ideally in its original electronic format. If you need to clarify anything in this request, please contact me via email, Thank you,
